Treacherous 2

T2/chapter 6

"Jane"

My feet stop at the place when my heart explodes. I press my eyes close, trying to gulp down the explosion of feelings in me.

I slowly turn around, gathering all of my courage and look at him, in his eyes.

We stare in each other's eyes for a very few seconds before he breaks the eye contact like he can't face me. Then he removes his over coat and hanged it on the coat hanger stand.

He starts walking to me. My heart beats accelerated with every step of his. Feel like I can forgive him for everything and just accept him.

But.

He is engaged now!

"Jane I--"

"It's-It's Janessa for you" I look down at the floor.

Atleast this can become a wall between us which will protect me and Hannah.

He stared at me for few seconds before nodding. "Yeah, Janessa" saying this he walked away from me and sat on the couch in the living room. I did the same. Sat on the couch opposite of his with crossed legs, trying to be formal.

"You were saying....." I tell him to continue.

"I was saying......" "Just-Just wanted to talk about--"

"About Hannah. I know" I cut him off in a little harsh tone.

"You could have told me about her! I can understand you insecurities"  "But you could have just told me once?" He talks quietly.

I don't believe it's me and Harry having such talks! That too in a formal manner. It's ripping my heart off.

"What would have you done?" I ask in  a hard voice.

"Would have supported you"

"Really? Like 'you' are saying this?" I raised my eyebrows. "Supported me?" I scoff humorously.

"Jane I-Janessa I don't want to bring all that up right now" he gets a little mad and raise his eyebrows furiously.

I gulp and uncross my legs. Sit back.

"Anyways! It was your decision. You wanted a reason to live. Maybe somewhere you did right not telling me. It's just all your life. A separate one. Your and your daughter's"

'Your daughter's' ouch! It just poked my heart like a Cupid.

What? Isn't he accepting Hannah as his daughter? Or he just doesn't wants to become the dad of my child? Wait! Is he in fear of his mother? I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!

"Oh" I make a surprise face and nod raising my eyebrows again. "Well I'm glad you Atleast understood my decision"

"Are you happy?" He asks quietly.

I look up at him and our eyes connect. I don't answer for few seconds.

"Yeah just add 'very much' to it" I fake smile.

He gives me a stare, exhales and lean back.

"Mind if I spend some time with her?" He asks sophisticatedly.

"No!" I answer quickly. "Why would have I even keep her a secret from you then, Ha-" "Harry" I couldn't manage to speak his name at first. "I just don't want to share her with you--"

"I'm not asking you to share her with me. I'm just asking for some time to spend with her. I'm here only for few days. Then I'll be going away" he speaks quite loud pitch.

I look at him and think about what to answer.

"Fine! Just a friendly time" I say and stand up.

"Yeah" he nods and does the same. "Can I meet her?"

I nod and turn around to walk upstairs. He follows me. I open my room door and Harry stand behind me, close. It was dark in there.

Not surprisingly, Hannah had got changed in her PJ's, her bag was packed and kept on the chair and she was asleep by now. AS USUAL.

I look back at him. As soon as I do that, our nose brush with each other's. Ah! He was looking at asleep Hannah first but now after the touch he is looking in my eyes.

I still don't know how was I controlling myself from kissing him.

We don't blink till he looks down at my lips for a fraction of second and again look back at me. I know those signals and maybe I was giving in by leaning in very slowly.

But just then my subconscious hit me, I blinked, leaned out and turned around. "She's asleep" I pressed my eyes as it was awkward.

"Yeah, can I go near her? I promise I won't wake her up" he asks almost in whispers.

I nod not looking back at him and give him the way.

He walks in and sits on the bed besides her. His one hand slowly travels up to Han's head. He runs his fingers through her temples and automatically a decent smile forms on his face. I was able to see that fatherly love in his eyes.

People pay for their sins. Anne.

He gazes at Han for few minutes before leaving a soft and warm kiss on her forehead.

He did met her at first but now he is meeting her as his-our daughter.

After smiling at her he stands up, again gazes at her for a second and starts walking at me. The smile still is on his face.

"She is so gorgeous!"  "I wish she was mine" he looks back at Han and says this.

In your dreams Mr. Styles.

He is said 'I wish she mine' and not 'I wish she was mine too'.

Mother like son!

We then walked downstairs as it was the time for Harry to leave. I hold open the door as he walks out.

"Good night" he wishes and walks out  with a small smile.

"Night!" I roll my eyes.

After walking away a bit he stops and turns around after a second. "Can I take her out tomorrow?"

"Harry you can't---"

"Please?" He cuts me off.

His eyes fill with 'pleasing puppy stare'. Seeing that I immediately look away as I can't let that stare go in my heart.

"She comes back from the kindergarten at 1:30 pm. Pick her at 2:30" I inform as well as answer.

"Perfect" he nods.

"But!" "But I'm gonna come with you guys too!" I quickly add.

"I'm not going steal her from you, relax" he scoffs while nodding, passes a small 'goodbye' smile and walks away.

"I still hate you and always be hating you. And MORE after today" I mumble while watching Harry go.
